Team UK have now left their training camp in Whitesboro, Texas and travelled north to start the Youth World Cup proper in Oklahoma City. After booking in to their hotel they went to the State Fair Arena for a hat sprucing up session before the evening opening ceremony. They were treated to a traditional Indian dancing and a display of formation riding by the Del Rosa team from Vernon, Texas before parading with their national flags. Returning to the hotel the teams were able to exchange gifts and get to know each other at an informal mixing party.

Oklahoma City is the venue in July for the American Quarter Horse Association 2010 Youth World Cup and the UK will be sending a team of 5 plus two reserves to join the other 18 teams from around the globe. The Team will depart the UK on 27th June for a training camp in Texas to be coached by Patty Campbell, an AQHA Professional Horsewoman.  The riders will need all the skill and training from the last 6 months to ride the borrowed horses over a number of western disciplines including cattle cutting, reining and horsemanship.  Four of the five team members come from the South East and the whole team were delighted to receive sponsorship for their trip from Leslie Sutcliffe from Farnam UK.  Farnam are corporate sponsors of the AQHA in America and the Youth World Cup 2010, so the British team will be wearing the Union Jack on the team clothing and the Farnam logo too.

Leslie Sutcliffe of Farnam UK is sponsoring the AQHA Youth Team who leave shortly for Oklahoma City to compete in the AQHA Youth World Cup. Team Manager Christy Leach commented ' I grew up with these products in America and very excited that they are now available here in the UK!  Many of the top trainers endorse Farnam and I feel proud that they are taking a true interest in the AQHA Youth of  UK.

Following on from the sponsorship here for the UK team Farnam in America heard about the event in Oklahoma and stepped in to sponsor the entire event in 2010.  Not only are the team to be supplied with smart new team outfits for the trip but Leslie organised goody bags of Farnam products for the team here in the UK and on arrival at the training facility in the USA.
Youth Team Manager Christy added' Many thanks to Farnam's  UK distributor,  Leslie Sutcliffe, for her genuine enthusiasm to help the AQHA UK Youth Team in 2010.'
